That pretty much describes any organization that wears masks and commits civil unrest and violence.

Before everyone gets all cray cray...

(M.J. Rosenberg, former AIPAC staffer and commentator): “AIPAC’s quiet lobbying has ensured that foreign aid to Israel remains unconditional, while domestic issues like border security get sidelined in Congress. It’s not direct support for open borders, but by flooding primaries against any critic, they maintain a Congress that prioritizes Tel Aviv over Texas.” (From Rosenberg’s analysis in The Nation, 2022, critiquing AIPAC’s influence on aid bills

Any group that pushes for open borders should also be designated a terrorist organization. Every death caused by an illegal is a terrorist act.

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

>>”Finally! How about AIPAC next?”

You may not like AIPAC, but they’re lobbyists, not terrorists. There are plenty of lobbying organizations operating in the U.S. Muslims have them. Almost any interest group you can think of has them. Lobbying for certain policies, whether you agree with them or not, is not the same thing as sponsoring terrorism.

Any group that pushes for open borders should also be designated a terrorist organization.

Alejandro Mayorkas was a board member of Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society which has pushed for open borders and has actively supported illegals entering our country. I sincerely doubt that Trump has the testicular fortitude to designate the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society a terrorist group.
